- Interpretation : Glycine not being an optically active compound is to be explained. Concept introduction: Amino acids are defined as organic compounds which contain amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH ) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) attached to each amino acid. Glycine is an amino acid that consists of a single hydrogen atom in its side chain with a molecular formula of NH2CH2COOH. Optically active compounds are those consist of a chiral centre and rotate a plane of polarized light in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction.
